Mortal Fear

A Sleep Paralysis Story

I woke up...and I heard a witch who was repeating that: "You can't wake up, I'm going to kill you..". I was trying to move, to run out of the room, to ask for help, but I was unable to speak or move. After a few seconds or even a minute (I can't clearly remember) I saw her sitting on my bed. She was extremely ugly...and I thought that she was a ghost. I was scaaaared...than I fell asleep..

 OMG!

I also experienced those kind of sleep paralysis. I was laying in my bed, same time, same place, same mood. Suddenly I felt my body rolling in my bed and weightless, I floated and hear a voice like a angry dog but it's not barking, sometimes I hear voices of a witch. There is no words or language just a sound, a creepy sound. I can't even move my body.. but I screamed but nobody can hear me..because I'am screaming inside my dream or in a different world. I started to pray and pray.. fortunately I succeeded to go back in my body.

It is not meant to substitute a trip to the doctor or the advice of a specialist. It's good to talk; it is not good to avoid consulting someone who's profession it is to help you with this kind of stuff.

If you are in any way concerned about your sleep health, don't wait for an answer on here, and don't necessarily rely on them. See a sleep specialist in your area as soon as possible.
